Content

Studio stores authored content in D1. Published documents become inputs to the next Preview Data export; the public website is updated by its separate build and deployment.

Content Model

Area	Role
Posts	Articles with a public Author, categories, tags, and publication state
Pages	Standalone or hierarchical content, including a selected front page
Authors	Public bylines; optionally linked to a Studio account
Categories and Tags	Content organization used by the public theme
Media	Metadata and references to managed R2 objects or external files
Menus and Widgets	Saved navigation and content blocks rendered by the theme

A Studio account controls access; a public Author identifies a byline. An Author-role account needs a linked public Author before it can manage Posts. See Roles & Capabilities.

Site settings determine public URLs, the homepage, output, branding, localization, and custom code. Theme templates determine how the exported data is presented; see the Preview Data reference.

Saved Content, Autosaves, and Revisions

The saved document is the canonical content. Autosaves preserve ongoing work separately and can be restored for review. Saved revisions retain earlier document snapshots. Restoring a snapshot is an explicit action; simply opening history does not change the public content.

Writes check the document’s revision. If another session changed the document, Studio reports a conflict rather than silently replacing it. Review the latest version before saving again. Save current edits before preparing a public-site export; preparation does not select an editor’s unsaved or autosaved draft.

Document Formats and HTML Editing

Posts and Pages support HTML, Markdown, and plain text. HTML offers source editing and SunEditor visual editing. Converting to the visual editor can normalize markup or remove unsupported structure. Studio shows the proposed HTML changes when conversion needs review; cancelling preserves the source. Switching to HTML source exposes the current HTML without another conversion.

Keep source mode when the original markup needs to be preserved. A successful WordPress import can retain HTML that needs source editing; visual-editor compatibility is separate from import success.

Preview and Permalink

Preview renders the current title and body, including unsaved changes, using the same content renderer as ZeroPress builds. Desktop and Mobile change the preview width. The neutral stylesheet supports tables and highlighted code but does not reproduce the site’s theme, menus, widgets, or custom code.

Scripts and external embeds do not execute. Select a link to inspect its address and target; an embed card shows its title and source address. These values reflect the renderer’s output. Relative media URLs use the saved permalink, or the site URL for new documents.

Permalink opens a saved, published document’s public URL in a new tab. A saved draft has a non-clickable planned permalink. The address updates after saving a slug or status change; it does not prove the public deployment exists.

Publication State and Trash

The All tab includes Draft and Published documents. Trash is a separate tab, excluded from All counts and search results. Status, search, and applicable Author filters are represented in the URL.

Restore returns a trashed document to Draft. Permanent deletion is available from Trash and still checks revision, ownership, and references. The selected front page must remain published; Pages with children cannot be trashed or deleted until those references are resolved.

Bulk actions apply to the selected documents on the current page and report individual results. A conflict or protected Page can leave part of a selection unchanged. Review those results before retrying.
